Mufasa the dog's second chance goes viral

It can be called the sweetest story of second chances.

In a video that's going viral, a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking story about love and a stray, senior dog named Mufasa.

When Eldad Hagar, the founder of an animal rescue organization, first found Mufasa at a water treatment plant in Los Angeles, he was sick, alone and surrounded by tanks of toxic chemicals.

But Mufasa was scared, shaken and wouldn't go near them, making the rescue difficult and risky.

After some coaxing, and some treats, they led him to safety.

Mufasa has been treated for an ear infection and intestinal parasites.

And with a lot of love, he now has a second chance at life.
